Root morphology mediates yield and fruit quality responses of cherry tomato to a Eu
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsCrop yield and quality are influenced by root morphology, but the impact of root morphology on cherry tomatoes under Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) film mulching (EUV treatment) with Eu
methodsIn this study, "Meiying No. 2" cherry tomato was selected as the experimental material, and a one-factor randomized block field experiment with conventional EVA film mulching (CK) and EUV treatment was conducted to investigate the effects of EUV treatment on the yield and quality of the crop.
resultsThe results showed that EUV treatment induced reconstruction of the light spectral composition, resulting in a 17.0% and 13.5% increase in blue light and red-orange light proportions, respectively (P < 0.05). Compared with CK, EUV treatment improved root development, SPAD values, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and gas exchange parameters of cherry tomatoes at each growth stage, with agronomic traits improved to varying degrees. The contents of lycopene, soluble sugar, soluble solids, soluble protein, and vitamin C in fruits increased by 20.4%, 15.9%, 36.6%, 36.5%, and 13.4%, respectively, and the harvest yield increased by 33.1%. Furthermore, partial least squares path modeling revealed that EUV treatment optimized root growth by regulating the light spectral composition, which in turn enhanced plant photosynthesis and growth, ultimately leading to comprehensive improvements in yield and quality.
conclusionsIn conclusion, this study systematically investigated the effects of EUV on the growth physiology of cherry tomatoes, while providing novel solutions for light quality regulation in horticultural plants.
